  • 2017 Regular Voting Session of the Records Florida Legislature
    2017 Regular Voting Session of the Records Florida Legislature ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES OF FLORIDA The Voice of Florida Business Since 1920 2017 CHAMPIONS for BUSINESSPage 25 AIF Voting Records • 2017 1 Dear Employer: It is my pleasure to provide you with this tabulation of the voting conduct of each member of the Florida Legislature during the 2017 Regular Session. Voting Records reports on the votes made by every legislator on bills that were advocated, promoted or opposed by Associated Industries of Florida (AIF). By reporting on 5,668 votes cast by legislators on 59 bills, this publication embodies the most exhaustive and complete record of the Tom C. Feeney President & Legislature’s approach to the concerns of Florida’s employers. Chief Executive Officer We go to great lengths to ensure that legislators are aware of AIF’s positions on issues of great importance to the business community. Every year before the session begins, we produce AIF’s Session Priorities, which explains why we support or oppose key issues. In addition, during the session we provide each legislator with a Daily Brief on the activities of that day, highlighting bills of interest to business and our positions on those issues. Our greatest asset, however, is our experienced and accomplished legislative team, which has compiled a record of success second to none. For 42 years AIF has published Voting Records yet, these records only tell part of the story. AIF also helps its member companies detect what bills and amendments are filed and by whom, and who is taking part in behind-the-scene efforts and debates on behalf of the busi- ness community.
